For the second year in a row, I answer the question on everyone’s mind: What if the NCAA men’s tournament teams had to submit their school’s freshman SAT scores (not just those of basketball players) to get their seeding?

With some help from The College Board, common data sets, and in one case, Cappex, I figured it out. Of course, Harvard would be the No. 1 seed overall, followed by Duke and Notre Dame . From then on, it gets a little congested. Below is a ranking of the overall 68-team tournament field based on standardized test scores.

The methodology here is very simple and not especially refined. I use the midpoints of a school’s 25-75 percentile Math and Verbal scores and add them (since not all schools report writing scores). For those (Midwestern) schools that rely more heavily on the ACT, I converted ACT to SAT scores.

Inside Higher Ed has set up its own brackets based on academic progress statistics for NCAA tournament teams: Butler, Belmont, Memphis, and Kansas make the Final Four, and Belmont wins. Check it out.

Out of jail: Former Georgia School Superintendent Linda Schrenko, who embezzled more than $600,000 from the state Department of Education to fund her failed 2002 gubernatorial campaign—and to pay for a facelift.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Twelve former Florida A&M University band members were charged Monday with manslaughter in the 2011 hazing death of a drum major.

Ten of the band members had been charged last May with third-degree felony hazing for the death of 26-year-old Robert Champion, but the state attorney’s office said they are adding the charge of manslaughter for each defendant. They also have charged two additional defendants with manslaughter, though they have yet to be arrested.

The second-degree manslaughter charge announced during an afternoon status hearing carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

Champion died in Orlando in November 2011 after he collapsed following what prosecutors say was a savage beating during a hazing ritual. It happened on a bus parked in a hotel parking lot after Florida A&M played Bethune-Cookman in their annual rivalry football game.
